It's not just The Interview: Paramount pulls Team America substitute over hacking fears
Three movie theaters say Paramount Pictures has ordered them not to show Team America: World Police one day after Sony Pictures surrendered to cyberterrorists and pulled The Interview.
+ The famous Alamo Drafthouse in Texas, Capitol Theater in Cleveland and Plaza Atlantain Atlanta said they would screen the movie instead of The Interview, but Paramount has ordered them to stop. (No reason was apparently given and Paramount hasn't spoken.)Team America, of course, features North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un's father, Kim Jong-il, as a singing marionette.
+ Production company New Regency has also scrapped Pyongyang, a planned film about the country starring Steve Carrell.
+ Here's the Kim Jong-un death sequence that those pesky hackers really don't want you to see.
+ With The Interview's cancellation, the (cyber) terrorists won. Or lost.
+ Either way, North Korea is no laughing matter.
